Sober Spring Break
This week, I enjoyed my first sober spring break. I attempted a sober spring break in 2019
in Washington, D.C., but blew it with some icy glasses of rosé at a swanky hotel. I'm still experiencing hangxiety four years later on that one. My husband is a sucker for fancy hotel bars, and admittedly, I am too.

It was a new destination for all of us, and huge thanks to Andee for all her planning. The trip, of course, involved seafood, swimming, and shopping, but a lot of extra joys came with a sober spring break ...
- Eating mozzarella sticks and Oreos (two kinds!) every. single. day. without the guilt of alcohol calories on top of cheese and junk food calories.
- Sipping on Lyre's White Cane Spirit + Coke without risk of a hangover. It seriously tasted like Bacardi + Coke!
- Jumping in the waves with my niece. It was pure joy with 100% clarity to remember every moment.
- Standing in awe of the sky and ocean with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for our beautiful planet.
I give sober spring break 10/10. Highly recommend.
